Something I've always loved about the Professor is he worked a bit like we do --- write it, revise it, change it, oops, fit it into that other timeline, change her hair colour, ooooh, what if those two got together and had a baby? um, can't be bothered to flesh this out, just put round numbers on the timeline and let's move on.... I watch people discuss NoMe almost as though it is Wisdom passed from beyond the veil and I am bemused.
Sure I'm curious, mainly about Númenor, but not at the absurd price it would cost me thanks to our exchange rate, and I'm pretty sure I can live without it. Anyone who has ever tried to make sense of all the Galadriel mythos should know to just cherry pick what makes sense or most appeals and move on. This is more of the same, only worse because he was playing with numbers and doing a lot of unrelated to anything stuff and I am sure there is a reason Christopher never touched any of it (common sense?)
And in no universe where I write will Gil-galad ever have silver hair.
